When an overrated hack like Jared Leto tries to method act his way into a 'truly twisted' Joker, you get...well, whatever that piece of shit was in Suicide Squad.
When Joaquin Phoenix takes a crack at it, you suddenly end up unreasonably intrigued by a movie you never thought needed to exist in the first place.
This is a perfect example of the difference between 'weird' and 'genius'. Phoenix is weird as hell but the guy's a brilliant actor. Leto's just weird as hell and if you let him go play weird, people will assume he's brilliant.
